Despite struggles to film Gerald and Ivo’s scenes together, Carrey embraced it as a worthwhile challenge and ended as the best thing of Sonic 3.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 marked the return of Jim Carrey after the actor previously claimed that he would likely be retiring from the industry. He didn't just return to play Ivo Robotnik, however, but also took on another role in the form of Gerald Robotnik, Ivo's grandfather and creator of Shadow the Hedgehog.
